Edwards-Helaire will miss the first four games of the season before he's eligible to return.

Edwards-Helaire recently detailed his battles with PTSD. He missed several training camp practices and wasn't on the practice field with the Chiefs on Sunday as they began preparations for Thursday night's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
